FIRST:  The Corporation is registered as an open-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

SECOND:  The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”), at a meeting duly convened and held on December 8-9, 2014, adopted resolutions which:

 

(a)                                 authorized the elimination of one (1) portfolio of common stock of the Corporation, consisting of three (3) classes, designated as International Small Cap Portfolio — Class I, International Small Cap Portfolio — Class A and International Small Cap Portfolio — Class L (the “Liquidated Portfolio”), none of which portfolio or classes have any shares outstanding; and

 

(b)                                 authorized the reduction to zero of the number of shares of common stock classified as shares of the Liquidated Portfolio.

 

THIRD:  The reduction to zero of the number of shares of the Liquidated Portfolio results in the decrease in the aggregate number of shares of common stock which the Corporation has authority to issue from seventy-two billion five hundred million (72,500,000,000) shares of common stock to seventy billion (70,000,000,000) shares of common stock.

 

FOURTH:  As of immediately before the decrease in the number of authorized shares of the Liquidated Portfolio and the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock of all classes of the Corporation, as set forth above, the total number of shares of stock of all classes that the Corporation had authority to issue was seventy-two billion five hundred million (72,500,000,000) shares of common stock, having an aggregate par value of seventy-two million five hundred thousand dollars ($72,500,000) and designated and classified in the following portfolios and classes:
